I sold a painting yesterday to a nice young woman. She got one with an abstract-ish background and birch trees in the foreground. She was a smart woman. She wanted one that she would not get tired of over the years. She thought about what she wanted. I was happy to know this painting will have a good home. So...I celebrated and took a day off from my other 2 jobs and just painted today.

Yesterday I was painting some Frida Kahlo faces and I got too much paint on one and used a paper towel to blot the excess paint. When I peeled the paper towel off - I LOVED the image on the paper towel.I know that you may not know me - but I will tell you - that once I get my mind on something - I just GO! So I "printed" about 10 paper towels yesterday.Then I realized that it would get expensive to keep using paper towels like that. So this morning I decided to try printing on something WAY more affordable....

Yes. I "printed" these on sheets of toilet paper.I know. I know....

Then I framed one of the paper towel (Frida Towel-o) prints from yesterday.This was just my first attempt - I glued it to cardboard and used a pop-top for the hanger. I will perfect this later this week.

Then I clear coated a painting from last week.

Then I finished a painting that is the first of a series I am starting.

Then I had to paint over this painting as it looked much duller in person than in this photo. Bye bye painting...

Still not sure about this one. It has some good parts:

Might chop it up into little pieces and use the best parts.

The filet mignon of the painting. Or for vegans - the heart of the artichoke.

Then I worked on the second in the series.

Then I did an experiment....

Then I did another experiment...

Then I worked on this one....

Here is a photo of the painting that sold.To finish my day - I took the kid to the orthodontist. Money in - money out....It was a lovely day off.
